Hmm, this car might be a little more upmarket than our Sciroccos and it
would wipe out an NSX since the NSX is not a very powerful car.  I can't
read German so maybe the article mentions this already but the W12 was
first mentioned in the context of the Audi AVUS show car.  AFAIK, the
engine was only a mock up and didn't consist of siamesed VR6's.  In fact I
think the VW looks a bit like a less radical AVUS in profile with it's
big-wheeled look.  Oh yeah, IMHO.  Any bets on whether VW will pull a
Chrysler and put this puppy into production?  b--------
